Spain Tourist Visa Fees 2025: Cost, What’s Included & What to Budget

Typical Cost for a Spain Tourist Visa

For a short-stay tourist visa (Schengen visa) to Spain, the standard consular fee is around €80 for applicants 12 years and older. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

For children aged 6 to 12, the fee is reduced — around €40. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} Children under 6 years old are often exempt from visa fees. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Why Fees Vary: Service Charges & Extras

Beyond the consular fee, applicants often pay extra for visa-application-center services (handling, biometric processing, courier delivery), and in some cases insurance or courier fees.

These additional fees depend on your country of application and the visa-processing center: this means that the final amount can be significantly higher than the base €80/€40. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Example: Approx Cost From Some Non-EU Countries (e.g. India)

For Indian applicants in 2025, the base visa fee (for tourist, short-stay visas) is listed as around INR 8,920. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} But because of service-center charges and other mandatory fees, the total can go up. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Other Costs to Plan For

• Visa-application center service charges or processing fees
• Travel medical insurance (often mandatory) — especially for Schengen visas
• Courier or passport-delivery fees (if you opt for mailed delivery)
• Document translation or notarization (if required by your consulate)

What Happens if Your Application Is Rejected?

In most cases, the visa application / consular fee is non-refundable — meaning even if the visa is denied, you do not get back the €80 (or equivalent) paid. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Additional non-refundable costs (service fees, courier, insurance) may also apply depending on when denial happens.
